Why not, mytake?
And Guy-Ocho, on the way back from the Catskills, I’ll wave to you and Kilo.

Me too. Actually I live down the block from Al Capone.

Hey, you know him too?!
I used to live in Brooklyn. Not anymore!
morah reyna
Me too! Don’t even miss it!
I live on 16th and 53rd, would there be a better place to live in the whole world.
But my life is different than it was before.
Because a new neighbor just moved in next door.
He looks and sounds different, a yichtege sefardi,
So I’ll ignore him, and he’ll ignore me!
Thought of it when I saw the title.

not in brooklyn
Outside of Brooklyn. Which gives me the right to sneer and look down at anyone in Brooklyn. Else why would I not live there? And what would else would I mock? Living together with the 10 other Jews in my town makes me feel bigger. After all, in the Jewish world there is Brooklyn and there is elsewhere.
shrek- the beatles- u r dating ur self- we now know what generation you r from
I don’t live in Brooklyn, but no, I don’t think it gives me the right to sneer at or make fun of the Bklyners. I find it disturbing that so many ppl here feel free to snort at the mention of Brooklyn. How can I condemn somebody(s) who isn’t perfect when I myself am not perfect(striving to, but not yet…)? Brooklyn is a real torahdike place and a lot of Yidden live there. I really think it’s not right to speak badly of so many Yidden.
Boston (brookLINE), providence RI, midwood (brookLYN), and I am currently working on getting myself to eretz yisroel for good (probably not gonna happen until after I get married though …)
😀 Zuberman! 😀
and good luck with that!
my sis and bro in law wanted to do that too, then they got married and realized it’s not shayich
:p> mbachur <d:
yossi z – Do you know my uncle from Providence RI? Rabbi Y.S
here observant i tried to start a positive thread about Brooklyn phobia and Brooklyn bashing
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/facing-my-brooklyphobia
observant- Dont worry. The Brooklyn ppl can take it.
Brooklyn..originally Manhattan
‘woman outside brooklyn’, Are u gonna tell us where you hail from?
ronrsr- Did you go to bais yaakov of Boston for high school
GO CHICAGO!! Although I make aliyah twice a year to visit my not-so-fortunate-to-be-out-of Flatbush family, and we are WAITING for the day we can make a REAL ALIYAH on an “EAGLES WINGS” very soon, IY”H. Yeshuas Hashem K’Heref Ayin!
take one lucky guess….
yeps you got it!!!
got what
It doesn’t make a difference whether they can handle it or not. WE shouldn’t tolerate it. I think it’s lashon hara, isn’t it? Correct me if I’m wrong.
observanteen:
Correct, L”H about a community is much worse.
cause you cant ask everyone mechila cause you dont know exactly everyone
Those who made smug comments above about not living in Brooklyn, could at least express regret for their contempt.
Waiter, you should certainly be proud to live in a Mokom B’Torah but to call Lakewood Ir Hatorah is a little condescending B”H Torah is learned in the 4 corners of the world and fortunately Torah Study abounds all over the globe as never before, every city, town, neighborhood, should be equally as proud of its Torah learning.
I assumed they were commenting on the city not the people.
Regardless of what your stand on things is, you should give praise for your own, but not put down others.
I am here,
I’m originally from Providence (still go back for the chagim b/c my family lives there)
now I’m trying to figure out who Y.S. is
mbacher,
Rabbi Y.S. is a big part of the community. he gives the daf yomi shiur. His son started the jewish boy scouts of America. I hope this is enough hints I might just know your family also, being there sometimes for yom tov. not so often though.
I figured it might be him i just know him as Rabbi S (his son btw, who i guess makes him your cousin was my shadchan)
Your guess is correct! That is so funny. It’s such a small world. well let me guess who you are. lol
In a boro that isn’t Brooklyn. But don’t think I’m a snob, I married a man from Brooklyn, and a good chunk of his family still live there.
